G-2 1828, Sept 23 Letter to E. R. (c/o Curtis & Porter in Paris) from his sister Elisabeth in Catskill, who was visiting there. She mentions that E. R.'s letter of June 19th arrived in Southington Sept. 8th. She confesses to E. R. that his marriage brings to her mixed emotions, for she is the only one of the siblings that is now alone. Page 3 of the letter is dated the 29th, written after she had received letters from E. R. dated July 6, 21, and Aug. 5th and his latest journal entries—all bundled together. When in Catskill, she saw Mrs. Prof. Strong (i.e. Prof. Strong's wife) who said that there were but 9 students at Ham. College's commencement and that the President of the college refused to resign.

G-2 1828, July 26 Letter to E. R. (c/o Curtis & Porter in Paris) from his sister Elisabeth in Southington, CT. First two pages detail news of family. Cousin Sarah of Rochester was in Clinton and that "uncle had received your letter announcing your intention of marriage and that they were all pleased." Also noted that the position held by Prof. Strong at Hamilton College would have no successor for the want of pupils. Pages 3 and 4 are dated July 28 and were written in response to a recently received letter in which Robinson obviously told her that he would delay his return home by a year because of his forthcoming marriage to Therese. Elisabeth writes: "Prof. Yates, being an American, will doubtless be present at the wedding." She then says that she too should like to be present.
